This is divided 100,000 for home purchase assistance and then 300,000 for improvements,” Eversole said.

Eversole said the home purchase assistance takes the form of $5,000 grants for qualifying buyers and that the $100,000 allotment funds about 20 applicants. She said the exterior-improvement allocation is $300,000 annually and that the program began in February 2016. “This marks the tenth year that this particular program has been in place,” she told the board, and she reported the program has helped “at least 82” properties with code violations since 02/2016.

She explained that beginning in 2023 the city carved out a portion of the $300,000 improvement funds specifically to help properties with code violations, a practice continued for three years. Eversole reported annual assistance totals from the program records: in 2023 the city assisted 10 properties with roughly $22,000 allocated for those repairs, in 2024 four properties received about $12,000, and in 2025 four properties had received approximately $12,800 to date. She emphasized three program rules: unused grant funds do not roll over to the next year, not all code violations qualify for the grant, and the grants are not intended to cover the full cost of most projects.

Eversole described eligible exterior projects (paint and siding, gutters and downspouts, windows and roofs) and named ineligible work (detached garages, foundations, and improvements not visible from the street). She also credited the compliance office for referring residents with code violations to the program. When asked by the board, Eversole confirmed the program is not income-based and that, after a 2024 policy change, the program has limited assistance to owner-occupied properties; rental properties were previously eligible in a small number of cases.

Board members asked about allowing work for owners who cannot provide matching funds; Eversole said program modifications would require higher-level approval through city management or the commission and that the department is open to discussing changes.

Eversole left program handouts at board members’ seats for reference and offered to answer follow-up questions.","Community Development staff reported the city’s housing development and beautification program provides $100,000 annually for $5,000 home purchase grants and $300,000 for exterior improvements; three-year targeting for code-violation repairs was described along with recent uptake.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6148607,"Sandusky board tables $1,000 penalty for 1310 Putnam until Nov. 15 pending completion and payment",2262,703000,2965000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5515037-94a3664061c288bd9c5680cf421c18bb&start=703&end=2965","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5515037-94a3664061c288bd9c5680cf421c18bb/thumbnail_703000.jpg","/articles/6148607/Ohio/Sandusky-board-tables-1000-penalty-for-1310-Putnam-until-Nov-15-pending-completion-and-payment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6148607-849d56e581abc4acbf7a2a3de6f79651/orig.mp4?Expires=1777687204&Signature=kwPv2vH2HlUmerZgsg~LMFjhzswPuQlgQ-RLCsebcfwrpHFtWITvOgE-YXVfdR4yilaxycoQnwYSYwapkkWiqgVK8DNSDMdStFYESXFq9P8Sa3dY7HY~TqV1Cn9qlEEtRYabAFud8L~zQTS7ij--ld0dsDL9R34~AdgcSiHb3bt6ip4fxPKzeJ4sCdBFKe6HF47f3hHuB~DkvEttscACUdJpnAoYpea47Om2YVaINPdv4PSH45tmlTYyHI8vFiLDfcKFEAUXJBoyBFGnUZCeET1jx-aedZS5UzaUn88JGhJTWipsaVBus33W~Yjf-2Z2yreRuqA4taVRlJreXWyqZg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sandusky adjudication hearing on code case EN23-0650 tabled a $1,000 third administrative penalty for the property at 1310 Putnam Avenue until Nov. 15, 2025, and directed the owner to coordinate with city code enforcement. The board voted unanimously to delay further action so the inspector can verify compliance.

Inspector Ron Snyder of the City of Sandusky Code Compliance Office laid out the city’s findings and timeline, saying the case began in April 2023 and that multiple inspections showed intermittent progress. “The inspection yielded no progress since November 2025,” Snyder said when summarizing the June 10, 2025 inspection that led to the third penalty; he said the third penalty was issued June 10 and the appeal arrived June 20.

Owner Arthur Liston told the board he purchased the house as a fixer-upper in February 2021, has focused on interior work to make the house livable and repeatedly traveled from his Lakewood home to do repairs. “I didn’t realize I I I didn’t know he was contacting me earlier this year,” Liston said when asked why communication with the inspector had been spotty; he also described financial limits and said he is considering selling the property.

Board members pressed Liston about unpaid earlier penalties and the history of extensions. Snyder said two earlier administrative penalties remain unpaid — $100 and $500 — and that the third penalty of $1,000 had been added after the June 10 inspection. One board member summarized the board’s approach: if the owner pays the prior fines and completes required exterior work by the deadline, the $1,000 penalty may be waived; otherwise the board will revisit enforcement and potential court referral.

The board’s motion, as amended during the meeting, sets Nov. 15 as the date by which Snyder should verify completion for inclusion in the commission packet. Board members made clear they expect regular communication with the inspector during the interim. The board’s roll-call vote on the amended motion was recorded as unanimous in favor.

Background: Snyder’s report lists recurring exterior issues found by inspection visits: missing gutters and downspouts, peeling or missing paint on the accessory building and residence, missing siding panels, exposed gaps above a side door, and railing work. The property’s parcel number and other case paperwork are in the hearing packet.

If work is not complete by the Nov. 15 verification, the board said it will consider reimposing the $1,000 administrative penalty and pursuing court action; the board noted it cannot bind a future board to a particular enforcement outcome but will bring the matter back for formal action.","The adjudication hearing tabled a $1,000 third administrative penalty issued June 10 for 1310 Putnam Avenue and gave the owner until Nov. 15 to finish exterior work and pay earlier fines; the board emphasized the owner must communicate with code inspector Ron Snyder.","actionData","errors"]
